Critics Consensus

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is a noisy, underplotted, and overlong special effects extravaganza that lacks a human touch.

The movie is like the play date from hell, the kind where a crew of children reduce your home to rubble and conduct endless bouts of loud war on the living-room floor while you ponder the propriety of opening a bottle of wine.

Eager to get myself into the right mindset for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I turned to the multiplex patron sitting next to me and politely asked him to slam my head against the forward seatback.

I would like to think that even if I was 14, either in body or spirit, I would still find this film an impossibly, incomprehensibly overlong and cacophonous bore.

It's hard to believe so much money was spent on something so horrendously, both visually and narratively.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an extremely flawed film that re-hashes the same shots and didn't know where to take it's story...

0.5/4

Bay finds every reason and no reason at all to blow stuff up real good, proving once again why he should be directing energy drinks commercials and music videos, but not motion pictures.

While commonly said to be one of the worst I found the movie fun and entertaining, while not Shakespeare. The movie holds up well to me and has some amazing designs and fights.

I just finished transformers revenge of the fallen. The cgi looked amazing, I loved the military usage, the great theme song I liked kept getting used which I loved. Less humor, much more of an interesting second half, I was happy this time with how it ended, felt real and resonable, great acting with unexpected moments. Optimums prime felt much more THE Optimus prime this time. The two we d and green guys were pretty wierd but whatever. I’d rate it a 7.3/10. Although it looked amazing I wouldn’t consider it an amazing story or plot, it was average but with good fights and looks. I loved the usage of the Air Force. My sister rates it a 8/10 which surprised me and her.

Pure Robot Action and Childhood Memories...Revenge of the Fallen may be chaotic, but it’s still one of the most fun action movies to rewatch. The robot fights, explosions, and transformations looked insane, especially back then. Watching Optimus Prime fight was honestly the best part every single time. It’s loud, over-the-top, and full of nonstop action — exactly why it’s so entertaining as a fan.

This movie is so bad and disappointing. This movie have some plot holes when the writer strike chaos happens, then there are some racist stereotypes, even bad comedies in here, and also, it focus too much on the humans than the transformers as it lead this movie to become boring. I wanna see some transformers in action, Okay? Not humans. What I really like, it's a forest fight and pyramid fight, and that's it. 2 out of 10. It's a bad movie.
